In 2015, we’re going to see a childhood argument — Who would win in a fight: Batman, Superman, or a velociraptor with a machine gun riding a shark?* — played out on screens in Batman Versus Superman. The screenwriter, David Goyer, won’t reveal the plot, but he does have his own opinion which he shared in a short video taken by the Associated Press.

“Most comic-book purists would say Batman because he’s the ultimate strategist, even though it makes no sense whatsoever,” Goyer told the Associated Press. After all, he explained, “If Superman just flicked his finger, Batman would be done for.” […] “I don’t know, you’ll have to watch the film in a year and a half or whatnot, when it comes out, to see what happens.” [THR]

This is coming from the same guy who suggested the mass destruction in Man Of Steel won’t happen again because Superman has learned to hold himself to a higher standard and not kill people.

Conventional wisdom would suggest Superman would make minced meat of the mere mortal….but “there is nothing mere about that mortal”. Bats fights dirty. He could always orchestrate some bizarre nuclear winter scheme like Dark Knight Returns and rob Supes of his powers (or weaken him) or some other batsh*t crazy genius plan. Or not. Superman doesn’t have the same “issues” about killing or ripping people’s arm off. It’s a draw. Somehow.

Superman use to have more morals than batman idk why they made him such a plausible villain just over his intimidation..its pre-crisis supe all over again…

and im sorry if Lex luther cant do it then neither can Batman. no matter how smart everyone claims batman is, superman is smarter, his brain is literally stated to be at a higher level of functioning. Batmans greatest ally is surprise, so unless superman doesnt even know hes fighting batman for like a week than maybe batman can get close enough to make supe nervous…

Superman would underestimate Batman and lose. Superman relies on his powers for everything, he approaches problems straight on and seldom ever resorts to tricks or fighting dirty. Batman on the other hand is all about tricks and dirty pools. In a conflict with Superman, Batman will exploit every possible weakness. Superman goes in sure of victory thinking,”I’ll make short work of this human”. Batman goes in having planned every step, he reads Superman like a book and makes use of every known and deduced fact about him. Batman’s alley isn’t surprise it’s knowledge, if Batman knows Superman is coming than he will win and lets face it, the man of steel isn’t subtle. If Batman has time to prepare he wins.
